Nick Lucena isn't ready for the life of the retired dad just yet

This episode of SANDCAST: Beach volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter features Nick Lucena, one of the top defenders on the AVP and FIVB tours of his generation.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What this year has looked like for Lucena, which began in Doha and ended in a wild trip to Australia
  • Playing a fun, no-block tournament with Taylor Crabb
  • Why he and Phil Dalhausser decided to split-block in the AVP Chicago tournament in 2018
  • What motivates Lucena, who is 41 years old, to continue playing
  • The competitive streak that has kept him at the top of his game since his early 20s
  • The four-week expedited training schedule he and Dalhausser undertook to prepare for the AVP Champions Cup
  • How crazy the U.S. will look without Dalhausser and Jake Gibb in the game after this season
